Bittydesign "Zefirus" Lexan 1/8 Buggy & Truggy Wing (Clear)
About this part
From the masters of paint, Bittydesign introduces the "Zefirus" Lexan Wing - designed for use with 1/8 buggies and truggies.
Designed with modern and aggressive styling, the Zefirus is a lightweight wing made from polycarbonate resin material, which, when compared to an ordinary plastic wing, reduces weight with little to no penalty in rigidity. Testing has found that the reduced high-mounted weight helps the vehicle generate speed in small and low speed corners, while also assisting vehicle stability in high speed sections.
The Zefirus Lexan Wing features adjustable downforce to be tuned to suit a variety of conditions, vehicles and driver preferences. By using an optional wickerbill, long or short gurney flap or various air cutouts, you can shape the air forces experienced by the wing. Of course, the wing can also be used without any additions for the lowest weight possible.

This is a seriously stout lean wing. You'll have to work to tear this one up. I'm sure it won't last as long as a nylon style wing but it looks great, tons of downforce, tunable, and lightweight.
The wing does NOT come precut and is very hard to cut out, then you have to sand with dremmel. I drilled holes for wickerbill so I could mount it to the wing with nut and bolts. End of the day after like 3hrs of work on it, the nuts and bolts fell out, and the wing is cracking, all without crashing. I think the harmonics of the engine started cracks along the holes I drilled and it just got wasted in 4 hrs of running and no crashes. Not worth the effort..
Excellent lexan lightweight wing that’s durable. No cracks after a season of beating on it. It’s very thick and durable yet not heavy at all. Great value for the money too.
Reviewers of the clear Bittydesign Zefirus Lexan 1/8 buggy and truggy wing agree it is lightweight, with one reporting strong downforce and tunability. Two of three reviews praise its durability, one noting no cracks after a season of use. The main disagreement concerns durability under engine vibration: one owner reported cracking around holes drilled for mounting after about four hours of running without a crash, and the wing is not precut and requires significant cutting and sanding. One reviewer expects it to wear faster than nylon wings. Value for money is praised in one review. Three reviews is a small sample.
